title: [Complete anterolateral dislocation of the talus].
abstract: A 22-year-old woman suffered an anterolateral dislocation of the talus in a horse-riding accident. Immediately after admission, closed reduction was performed, and then a low knee cast was used for 12 weeks of immobilisation with partial weight bearing (10 kg). Nine months later, the patient had achieved nearly free range of motion of the ankle without pain (dorsal-plantar 10-0-30 degrees ). There were no radiological signs of osteoarthritis or talus bone necrosis. Immediate closed reduction led to an excellent outcome.
